Publisher's Synopsis
The first volume of this Quran series describes origin and evolution of the universe and life on Earth. Is the Quranic view of origin of life is consistent with the Big Bang theory and the evolution of life as described by Darwin? One of the fundamental principles of Islamic theology is the doctrine of historical continuation of divine revelations. The Quran teaches us that God sent messengers to all people on the face of the earth. Thus, the religion of the Quran can be properly understood only against the background of the great monotheistic faiths preceding it. There is a specific mention of Adam and Eve, Cain and Able, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Lot, Joseph, Moses, Samuel and King Saul, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, and Jonah.
